Ave!

Licinius II, Æ3, Radiate, Unlisted and Unique...?

Æ3; 18mm/3.4gm, struck 321 AD

Con/ Good Very Fine; glossy dark green patina

Obv/ LICINIVS IVN NO[B]C; radiate bust left, wearing fur-trimmed pteryges.

Rev/ BEATA TR[A]N-QVILLLITAS*; Ornate globe resting on an altar inscribed VOT / IS / XX; above, three stars; PTR in exergue.

Ref/ Similar to RIC VII 311 = Rare 4

Seller's Note/ This a truly curious coin for many reasons. The obverse inscription is missing the "B" in NOB C and is not a die inclusion. The fur-trimmed pteryges depicted on the young Caesar is only found on Trier issues. There is also another spelling error on the reverse with a missing "A" in the inscription, again, not a die inclusion (*See above). RIC notes this coin as C3, or rad. and cuir. bust right, while ours is bust left with no cuirass. Excessively rare or perhaps unique.
